Overview
EN 13223:2015/prA1 - published by CEN - sets safety requirements for drive systems and other mechanical and electrical equipment of cableway installations designed to carry persons. The standard covers the design, manufacture, installation, maintenance and operation of mechanical and electrical devices in drive systems and related mechanical equipment, taking into account various installation types and environmental conditions. It excludes installations for goods transport and conventional lifts and complements national building/construction rules.
The A1 amendment specifically revises Article 9.10 (Safety brake) to ensure alignment with Regulation (EU) 2016/424 and updates the informative Appendix ZA to map the standard to the Regulation’s fundamental requirements.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and applicability: Applies to cableway installations designed to carry persons; clauses 6–11 address drive-system mechanical and electrical devices, clauses 12–20 cover other mechanical devices.
- Drive systems: Safety and functional requirements for mechanical and electrical components that power and control cableway movement.
- Safety brake (Article 9.10, amended): The safety brake must act on the circumference of the drive sheave or another sheave with sufficient friction, or on the cable drum, or on a brake plate directly connected to the sheave or cable drum - amendment A1 clarifies this to align with Regulation (EU) 2016/424.
- Accident prevention and worker protection: Requirements aimed at preventing accidents and protecting workers, without prejudice to national occupational safety rules.
- Lifecycle coverage: Requirements apply across design, manufacture, installation, maintenance and operation phases.
- Regulatory alignment: Appendix ZA maps clauses of EN 13223 to the fundamental requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/424.
Practical applications and users
Who uses EN 13223:
- Designers and engineers specifying drive systems and mechanical equipment for passenger cableways (e.g., chairlifts, gondolas, cable cars)
- Manufacturers of sheaves, cable drums, brakes, and drive components
- Installation contractors and commissioning teams
- Maintenance and inspection personnel responsible for operational safety
- Notified bodies, certifiers and regulatory authorities assessing conformity with Regulation (EU) 2016/424
- Operators and asset managers implementing preventive safety measures
Practical benefits:
- Clear technical criteria for safe drive and braking systems
- Basis for conformity assessment and regulatory compliance in the EU
- Guidance to reduce operational risk and improve worker safety
